The great st. Louis mining boom, which began
two years ago with the success OF the Granite

majority staid in, relying the bull stories told
on every side. Among the most popular stock was

A Prayer for Content.


Dear Lord, to Thee my knee is bent;
Give Inc content
Full-pleasured with what comes to me
Whate'er it be;
A humble roof, frugal board,
And simple hoard;
The wintry faggot piled beside
The chimney wide,
While the enwreathing flames upsprout
And Irvine about
The brazen dogs that guard my hearth
And household worth:
Tinge with the emberx' rudy glow
The rafters low;
And let the sparks snap with delight,
AS fingers might
That mark deft measures Of some tune
The children Groom:
Then, with good friends the rarest few
Thou holdest true,
Ranged round about the blaze, to share
My comfort there;
Give me the claim the service meet
That makes each seat
A place Of honor. and each guest
Loved as the rest

he FAINTS WHEN THE SURGEON FRACTURES IT AGAIN.
oohn l. Sullivan went to the office Of Dr. Sayre,
In New York, yesterday and consulted him about
his broken arm. The celebrated surgeon quickly
determined that the bone had not been set in the
best manner and told Sullivan that he would
never get the complete use Of the arm unless he
had it broken again and reset. Sullivan told the
surgeon to go ahead. With a sudden twist DR..
Sayre opened the fracture, and the bone was soon
reset and the arm bandaged. SULLIVAN tainted
with the pain, but was brought to in moment
and then was sick for time. DR.. Sayre explains
that as the bone was set it would have been i'm
possible for SULTAN to bring the hand up in front
OF him with the palm toward the face and of
course the natural use OF the arm would be i'm
peded In many ways. There is no doubt in DR..
Sayre's mind that the arm will now become as
strong and effective as it ever was

A shocking Story from Milwaukee,.
TWO BOYS TORTURED INTO COMPOSING A CRIME
THEY DID NOT COMMIT.
Three years ago next May Mahlon Mccullough
and William Puetz, two boys of Bay View, suburb
of Milwaukee, were sent to state prison for three
years upon conviction OF having shot and robbed
August Grothe, street-car driver. On Tuesday
Father Decker, pastor Of st. Anthony's church, MIL
waukee, announced that the boys were innocent
and that the guilty man had made himself known
to him through the confessional. He refused, how
ever to divulge the name Of the latter, but has
asked Governor Rusk to pardon PuetZ and Nc
CulOugh. The assault on GrOthe was made one
dark night In the suburbs OF Milwaukee in true
nlgnWayman style. GrOthe refused to surrender
his change box and was shot, fatally, it was sup
posed. At sight of the bleeding body Mrs. Grothe
became rav1ng maniac, and Is now confined in
an asylum. At the trial the detectives testified
that the boys confessed their part in the attack
and robbery. PueE and Mccullough said that
the confession was forced from them; that for ten
days they were beaten, starved hung up by the
thumbs and otherwise 1ll-treated, and that they
confessed TO escape starvation. Twenty wit
neSes testified to an alibi but they were convicted
Mccullough is said to be dying from consumption.
